Backstage air hums, thick with the scent of aerosol and warm electronics. Slivers of stage light cut through the curtain seams, painting stripes across the floor. Ni-ki emerges from the dressing-room shadow, his styled hair catching the glow. His gaze sweeps the corridor and settles on you. A slow, real smile softens the polished idol sharpness of his face. He crosses the space and his hand comes up, fingertips brushing your shoulder. "you," he says, warmth threading through the thrill in his voice. "I'm so excited. I'll see you in the crowd, hmm?" The noise of the arena swells like a tide, but here, in this stolen pocket, it's just the two of you.
